Women drivers are as good as male drivers, but women have a harder time parallel parking.

In arguments, men adhere to the facts, while women tend to make stuff up, things that, if they were true, would bolster their cause. This gap between the mans version, full of facts and reality, and the womans version, which is partly the world that they create on the spot, causes and prolongs many disputes.

Also: women are always right. No matter how wrong they are, they are still right. I think this is an evolutionary mechanism-women throughout most of history have been half-subjugated by men-so women devised a strategy to maintian their footing in dealings with men- they decided long ago that they will always be correct and right, no matter what, so as to better achieve some parity in their relations with men, to keep from being steamrolled over.

Another version of this scenario: a couple (man and woman) can be driving somewhere- the woman has an urgent appointment, and they are running late, being stopped in traffic, and there is no way out or off the road. The woman will berate the man for not being able to move the car any faster, while he will tell her that it's impossible to go any faster, since they are stuck in traffic. Her respone will be that he HAS to go faster, and to get going and get the car out of the traffic jam. But reality says that the car is stuck in traffic and no real progress can be made until the traffic breaks up......"hurry, go go go, why can't you move any faster, get out of this jam right now!" Ive heard of instances like this all my life.

Women and reality don't always mix.
